SWORD BEACH: D-Day Baptism by Fire
Between 1941 and 1944, the British army contributed relatively little to World War II, having four years to prepare and train for a resumption of the European continental campaign. But on D-Day, June 6, 1944, 35,000 infantrymen, airmen, and special service operatives were sent headfirst into the whitest heat of war, almost overnight. 24 pages of photos.
